4.0 out of 5 stars Works flawlessly, June 26, 2003

By	NutMac "NutMac" (Mountain View, CA) - See all my reviews

Belkin's Bluetooth USB Adapter (model F8T003) is an ultra compact Bluetooth USB dongle. It is small enough to let other USB device plug into an adjacent USB port on my Apple PowerBook. At 10 meters maximum range (a bit over 30 feet), it won't let you roam on a large house, but sufficient for most practical purposes.

Pros:
- Very small and highly portable
- Attractive design with blue indicator light
- Zero configuration under Mac OS X 10.2

Cons:
- The blue indicator blinks very brightly at night
- Requires software installation and configuration on Windows platform (not necessarily Belkin's fault but)
- Could be a bit thinner for those with tightly-spaced USB ports

I have 2 computers, IBM ThinkPad A31 (runs Windows XP Professional Service Pack 1) and Apple PowerBook G4 (runs Mac OS X 10.2.6). Under Apple, the dongle worked without any software installation (and zero configuration). After going through the setup wizard, the Sony Ericsson T68i and PowerBook were in iSyncing heaven.

Under Windows XP, however, I had to install the software. And Windows XP does not provide much software support, either (ActiveSync supports only Windows-based PDAs and phones). However, there are number of software available and file exchange works very easily (i.e., uploading wallpaper).

All in all, Belkin's Bluetooth USB Adapter is an attractive solution.

5.0 out of 5 stars Works great connecting my Nokia 3650 to Win XP PC., December 23, 2003

By	"nor_easter" (Cohasset, MA USA) - See all my reviews

great widget - within 10 minutes of ripping open the box I was downloading my Nokia 3650 camera full-o-pix to my Win XP PC.
It is plugged into a USB port on the back of my PC located under my home office desk and it easily connects from anywhere nearby. IMHO it is an easy install, works as advertised, and it is a brand name product with decent documentation, support, etc.. Doug

4.0 out of 5 stars works fine, April 4, 2005

By	P. Sharma "prashantsh" (St Louis, MO USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I bought this to transfer images from my Nokia 6600 to my computer and had no problem in installation and transferring data back and forth. Took me about 15 minutes to read the phone manual to understand the operation but after that it was very easy.
I got it for a price of $9.99 and I could not ask for more at this price.
Overall, a good product.
